unironically i think he wants to impose the conditions of his childhood onto the entire country
JD Vance's ideal America is a place with half the GDP where everyone with potential and options gets the fuck out, a shithole that people from countries with actual dynamism visit to watch chintzy 'traditional' dances before going home.

Looking at both the "fascist" exchange and the jihadist/Stefanik comment you get the sense that Trump views all of politics as "character you play on tv." Which tracks with his long history as a tv celebrity and WWE regular.
I wonder if this is the thing that will get right-wingers to actually consider the possibility that Trump might have dementia.
Let’s check on the post

what i suspect here is that for Trump himself, accusations of fascism are viewed as "keyfabe" by either side
During his visit to the White House, NYC Mayor-elect Mamdani was asked about a recent interview in which he called President Trump a fascist. Mamdani began to answer the question before Trump jokingly cut him off.

It’s also part of their belief that Zohran is more than a Mayor Elect
They aren’t in contention
He’s not going to run against Trump.
He’s not going to be pushing or blocking bills in the house or senate that could show up on Trumps desk

Yes, important to note that disappearance of ACA supplemental premiums will push employer health plans up as the higher prices force younger people out of the larger pool of insured people. THIS IS HOW INSURANCE WORKS.
In CT, my son got a letter stating that he would continue to receive his $600 plus in Fed help, but that was a long time ago. We are not sure what his premium will be, but if he loses this, it will be over $800 per month, which I will have to help with. We may find out later at the 11th hour.

There's really no way to protect the people from themselves in a democracy, tbh
There's problems in the GOP, the media, and the Democratic establishment (in that order), but the fundamental problem is the moral rot in a citizenry that doesn't immediately reject a candidate like Trump

What this statement is really doing is showing that you're consuming mostly people complaining about Democrats instead of what is actually happening, and that should make you concerned about who you're listening to.

a lot of people refuse to accept the fact that roughly half of all voting age Americans choose to vote for Republicans in any given election and will perform the most insane mental gymnastics to avoid doing so
any demographics that vary any further than +/-5% are outliers!

Also, when states go R+50 statewide but also win D priorities win as standalone ballot measures, like the abortion referendums, the bigotry should be *more obvious* but it seems to confuse casual observers instead, despite there already being a tweet explaining it.

If Elizabeth can figure out how to make like 10% of white southern GOP folks vote Democratic, the Democratic Party would give her so much money, she and many of her descendants would never have to work again. Load-bearing "if", though

You were kicked off a website for a few hours. You were not "disappeared" a thing that is currently *actually* happening to real people who are not you. Go touch grass and get a fucking grip.
BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons. I've been on social media for 17 years and never been suspended. BlueSky is the first place to do so – over Johnny Cash lyrics.
